Still, that’s just what Jerry Gordon, founder of the local eight-piece ensemble "Shaken Not Stirred" did.
"The type of music we're playing right now, from the '70s and '80s is the music we
grew up. The generation that's out in the clubs right now is really interested in
hearing this type of music again."
